Westoning Lower School is much smaller than the average-sized primary school. Most pupils are White British. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils (those supported by the pupil premium) is considerably lower than in most schools. The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals or in the care of the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is lower than the national average. Children attend full time in the Reception class. The school has made arrangements to incorporate the on-site pre-school. The pre-school is not currently managed by the school and is inspected separately. The school runs its own before- and after-school club. The deputy headteacher was appointed in January 2015. The previous deputy headteacher worked at the school for a single term between September and December 2014. There have been changes of teachers, particularly affecting Year 4, since the last inspection. Since the last inspection, the school has been supported by the headteacher of Dunstable Icknield Lower School, who is a local leader of education (LLE). The school is part of the Harlington Area Schools Trust, a group of local schools.
